as bad in these respects to-day as any
other country. The sons of prosperous
families don't care to do as their faith
ers did. They dislike the workshop
and factory, or the idea of being con
nected with iron works, mining or trade
in any form. They all want to go TO
Parliament. The workshops, with n
few exceptions, are consequently left
in the hands and under the control of
their workmen, and what incentive
have they to make improvements in the
work that is before them. Could thew
make such an improvement? AS a
rule it would be next to impossible for
them to do so, for where education is
largely wanting much intelligence can
not be expected. Take another view

1T goes largely to the credit of Pbila-
deiphia, the most distinctly American
city of the nation that while it can oct
up the best parades it has also the most
orderly crowds. The whole number If

during the three days. celebration last
week was S84, but less than a dozen Of
these were in any way serious and only
Two were fatal-a fracture of the sknil
and one Of the RIBS and breast hone
A large majority of the cases which
demanded medical attention were of

suits Of fatigue. It is pertinentlv re.

relatively small number Of accidents

Ono of the Most Popular Native Institu-
tons of Shanghai.
In one OF tie most crowded thorough
fares Of the Chinese quarter of
Shanghai there has stood for forty
years free native hospital, mainly
supported by the E Iropean communi-
ty. Very strange its wards look at
first to E lglish visitors. The patients
bring their own bedding, consisting of
bamboo mat and a wadded quilt.
Those who can move about are the
only regular attendants of those who
can not. The house surgeon and dis
penser is a Christian Chinaman, for
thirty years connected with the hos
pital, and one of the first converts of a
mission school. Yearly about eight
hundred patients pass through the
wards, and the proportion of deaths
is small Last year there were fifty
six, and in the dispensary
more than twenty-five thousand
cases were treated. From very
far distances many Of the poor suffer-
ing creatures come, and back to their
tar-of homes many healed one has
carried a blessing greater than bodily
healing; for We believe that nowhere,
at home or abroad. could better proof
be found than in the Shanghai Hos.
pital f the benefit OF combining med
ical and gospel work. Daily the wait
ing-roOm, seated for three hundred,
is crowded with men. women and chill
dren, long before the dispensing hour,
and daily an English missionary, as
cOnversant with their language as his
own. sets before this waiting multitude
the word of life. Il believe" writes a
Christian physician, who for some
years had the oversight of this work,
That the Chinese undergo more suffer-
ing for want of medical knowledge
than any other nation in the word. In
an institution like this. almost daily
